• Implement workflow orchestration, message queues, background processing, and event-based communication between services.
• Design highly available, fault-tolerant, scalable, and secure cloud solutions.
• Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, idempotency, and failure recovery strategies.
• Optimize AWS Lambda performance, concurrency, cold starts, execution time, and operational costs.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automated deployments using AWS SAM and CloudFormation.
• Configure IAM roles, policies, authentication, authorization, and secure service-to-service communication.
• Implement monitoring and observability using Amazon CloudWatch, structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues involving AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and other cloud services.
• Work with additional AWS infrastructure services, including EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, VPC, Elastic Load Balancing, EFS, Cognito, Secrets Manager, and CloudTrail, as required.
• Evaluate cloud infrastructure for performance, security, reliability, scalability, and cost optimization.

3. Full-Stack Development & Technical Expertise

• Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance for applications developed using:
• Backend: Node.js, Python, REST APIs, and microservices.
• Frontend: React.js, Next.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
• Databases: PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and DynamoDB.
• Design and review RESTful APIs, reusable services, integration components, and application frameworks.
• Define and enforce coding standards, design patterns, development guidelines, and software engineering best practices.
• Conduct technical design reviews, code reviews, and implementation assessments.
• Support developers in resolving complex technical challenges and integration issues.
• Participate in critical development activities, debugging, performance tuning, and application optimization.
• Ensure applications meet quality, security, scalability, and maintainability standards.

4. Database Design & Architecture
